Live Bold List 43: Pirate Leggings and More Podcasts

Live Bold List 43: Pirate Leggings and More Podcasts

I finally found out where you get the black and white striped pirate leggings from! They’re not cheap, because they’re not ‘cheap’… Wonderful undies, tshirts, kids stuff, bathers and leggings from New Zealand. Even though it was mailed internationally, they arrived very quickly… And were awesome. And I wanted to order more! I’m happy that the weather has cooled down enough so I can (comfortably) wear them! So fun to be able to look like the girl in illustrations! I even got some undies with koi fish on them! Super comfy – look at that wide soft waistband! Oh, importantly: the business is called Thunderpants.

Here’s a link to Ben Lee on the Wilosophy with Wil Anderson podcast. Note: drug taking is discussed on this episode. I’ve loved every single episode I’ve heard so far, and I’ve just re-listened to this one and they talk about creativity quite a bit. Wil often does that with his guests (another through line) – which I love. I adore hearing about the similarities between genres/flavours of Making. My very favourite thing about Wil’s podcast is when he or his guest cracks him up and he laughs suddenly and loudly but he’s professional and throws his head back away from the microphone so it’s not too loud in our listening ears! I went to Wil Anderson’s comedy show in the recent Adelaide Fringe. I was the only one who “woot”ed when Wil talked about going to the opening night of Star Wars last year. I’m such a nerd.

This and the next are two TED talks I enjoyed
It’s a video not a podcast: Why Mayors Should Rule the World. Benjamin Barber makes a compelling point, ‘specially given that current politics/system is fouling the place up (literally).

The eTown radio/podcast is always good for the heart & soul. The foot tapping music and positive stories give me hope every time I listen – most reassuring to hear the world has a lot of good people and good things going on! Here’s a cool episode, if you’d like to listen to the whole hour. I like the modern big band sound of “Diga Diga Doo” by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, which I’ve embedded for you to check out below. I’ve found so many intriguing musicians that I wouldn’t have otherwise, through following eTown! Click this if the video embed doesn’t function for some reason, otherwise watch/listen here in the blog post.

Tell us below in the comments if you’ve had a day wearing stripy leggings (or indeed a tutu) or if you’d like to share your favourite podcast …

Tune in next time to see some of the pictures people have already submitted for the #HaapyToBeHhereProject!

Have a wonderful week,
Love Meg x o

PS I’d love to have you-you-you in the Happy to Be Here Project (a collective slide show to be screened in the installation room at my September exhibition) >> Read more here! It’s all about a sense of place, and of gratitude <3

There is something singularly satisfying about Tangerine Meg’s art. Vibrant colors and whimsical subjects are just the surface. What shines through is a deep understanding and reverence for harmonious living. Check out her work.Claudia Snowdenfrom Trailblazer

I bought one of your tshirts at the Hart Mill (blue one with lady and rainbow) I work with little children with autism and everyone loves my t shirt. Have just ordered another of your designs, the cat in the garden, so hopefully it will come soon. Look forward to seeing the new t shirt designs!!AnneAdelaide, Australia

Love this. I’ve just ordered some cards. I’m planning to frame some and give away as gifts – they are beautiful.
Amazing how simple things and memories make one smile.Gillian SchulzeAdelaide, Australia

Meg’s art is so amazing: bright, cheerful, colorful, deep. I follow her on Instagram, and her work never ceases to bring such light and smiles to my life. I purchased the original of “Tails of Magic”, and it got to me super fast despite there being like a gazillion miles of ocean between us. It graces my mermaid wall, and is truly a joy to behold every single time I look at it. I feel so grateful to have her work in my life!Kyeli Smith

I found your website on my search for artists who produce prints with lots of life.
I loooove your work, its so vibrant and full of energyLee, PerthAustralia

I don’t buy art often. Not because I don’t know that art improves your life – it does! – but because most art I find is… how can I say it… pastel. And I hate pastel. Detest pastel. Pastels make me feel boring and wishy-washy. I’m a bold soul! I want bold art!
Meg’s art is the antithesis of pastel. And that’s why I bought it.
Down with the pastel! Hooray for bold art!Catherine CaineCash and JoyIpswich, Australia

Thank you for your beautiful cards – yesterday I sent the butterfly card interstate to a friend for her 40th Birthday.Anthea SmithAdelaide, Australia

PS I love the cards!P*Adelaide, Australia
